walking through life one day at a time…and taking pictures the whole way

Spring Cleaning Challenge

One of my friends, Katherine, who writes a lovely blog called Days of Serendipity put out a little challenge to get organized for Spring, so I decided to take her up on it! Here is my list of things I would like to accomplish in March, to get a head start on a little spring cleaning.

Spitshine the apartment once a week(swiffer and such)

Join a gym and sign up for dance classes

Force someone(if necessary) to fix the leak in our bedroom so we can FINALLY put it all together

Try a new recipe once a week

Make something (arts and crafts!)

Get more organized in sending birthday cards

Find out about planting something on our patio…Ive never planted anything before, but the former tenants left lots of nice planters for us

Read one book a week…use the library more now that its open!

Volunteer somewhere.

Figure out how I want to style our mantle. Seasonally?

Take Roxie to the dog park and try to get her to stop being a bully

Finish the photobooks from past trips I owe my Mom

Get candles for the fireplace to create some ambience

Find a church to go to here in the city

Back up all my pictures that need to be backed up

Finish our emergency kit (you know…in case we end up like Denzel in the Book of Eli)

Keep in touch with our Grandparents

Create a filing system

Go on a date with Matt twice a month

Attempt baking.

I like Katherines idea of taking pictures as you complete a task…I might have to try that, too. Lots to do this month, and I am excited about getting organized before the sun is here every day tempting us to come play outside all the time 🙂

haha you are SO right about the baby wipes! i should put hundreds in there, apparently they are a hot commodity! 🙂 you know what, i think ill go look up the great date experiment again! i have it bookmarked somewhere, thanks!
